I say this from experience, having interviewed many that are guilty and lying.......

Very simple, if he was innocent and not involved, he would simply say so.......


This could damage this guy beyond repair......

I respectfully disagree. The left has made a cottage industry of supporting drug addicts and alcoholics.

If Rush has a pain killer drug problem, this won't "damage him beyond repair" unless his previously loyal viewers decide they are so perfect they cannot support someone who has a problem.

I had the same reaction in my earlier post . . . but consider this: what if in fact this maid was a Dem "agent" put in to set him up with drugs that SHE planted? And what if, to say so, would destroy any case against her? And what if those who put her up to it are "bigs" going all the way to the top of the DNC?

My tendency would be to do exactly as you said---in my words, "I've never been addicted to painkillers, and I've never purchased painkillers illegally in any fashion." But, if there is more involved here, we might be talking big time scandal . . . and not on Rush!

Oh baloney. You listen to you lawyer in these cases whether you are guilty opr not.

Thanks anyway, Miss Cleo.

In my experience, those guilty make broad statements (pun intended) like "I did not have sex with that woman."

Those who haven't been through the system, or spent a career lawyered-up to the hilt, tend to follow the initial, logical attorney advice of "don't comment."

As for the Palm Beach "name came up in an investigation" or "part of an investigation" stuff (as reported in the AP story as having been confirmed by CNN, that was later denied by CNN, and which I've lost track to know where that status is now): Rush's name may be on an investigation roster simply because of his prior connection to that housekeeper.

Agreed. If he was totally innocent, THAT is what anyone would say.
I am not convicting him here, but by NOT saying "I am innocent", he was most probably doing some drugs.
He should at least take an extended vacation to deal with his mdical & legal problems.
